From " The Genealogy of the Dimond or Dimon Fam-

Demont, Demond, or Dimond who died in Fairfield, Conn., in 
1658. He was a mariner and owner of a bark of twelve tons, in 
October, 1658. His vessel and cargo was destroyed by fire. 
Savage's Genealogical Dictionary — Fairfield Town Records. 
The name was spelled in various ways, but his sons spelled it 
Dymond, Demon, or Dimond. It was commonly pronounced 
Deming and Demmond. It is probable that the Demmonds of 
Worcester, Mass., may be derived from this source.

of dropsy. He had been a resident of Will County for sixty- 
six years. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 3 p. m. 
from Mr. Culbertson's home. The services will be under the 
auspices of the Masonic fraternity. 

William Charles Demmond, Son of Charles Demmond 
and Rebecca Holden, was born April 3, 1828, at Rutland, Mass. 
He came to Illinois with his parents in 1836 and settled in Troy 
Township. When a boy he was exposed to the hardships and 
privations suffered by the early settlers of those days in the 
struggle of conquering the forests and prairies, and winning 
amid many adverse circumstances the victories which made Il- 
linois the garden of the West. 

No luxuries and but crude comforts were known in those 
days, but out of such conditions came the rugged sturdiness 
which has won great victories for progress and civilization and 
marks with peculiar interest to us the characteristics of the 
departing sons and daughters of that period. 

His activity began early, and when a mere boy he was 
employed on the stage line which then was the only means of 
communication that the Desplaines and Illinois valley towns 
had with Chicago and the East. Later he was employed on the 
surveying corps which first laid out the route of that part of the 
great Rock Island road between Chicago and La Salle. 

In 1853 his ambition to become identifiied with the incom- 
ing new order of things was gratified by his employment as a loco- 
motive fireman and a year or so later he was a full fledged engi- 
neer on the Rock Island road. He was successively employed on 
the Alton, Michigan Central and Illinois River roads, finishing 
his thirty years of service on the Michigan Central about 1886, 
and a better, braver or more faithful engineer never handled a 
throttle or met with nerve and decision the many moments of 
trial and danger which come to the man in the cab. Many stor- 
ies are told among his associates of his skill and daring. 

When failing strength compelled him to abandon the 
severer duties of the railroad, he was for two years in charge of 
the power plant of the Union Elevator, east of the city. Sev-

erat years in the grocery business at the corner of Washington 
and Richards streets, closed his active business life, and the last 
few years of his life he has spent with his daughters, visiting 
his sons, Charles W. and Edward K. each winter at Savannah, 
Georgia. He was married on Feb. 12, 1856, to Clarissa Esther 
Beach, daughter of an early settler of Hadley, Will county. 
Her death occurred Dec. 12, 1897. 

He leaves two sons and three daughters to mourn his de- 
parture, Charles W. and Edward K. of Savannah, Georgia, Mrs. 
T. E. Culbertson of Joliet, Mrs. Charles C. McClaughry and 
Mrs. Sanger Steel of Chicago.

Had 3 children in 1788. 



He was the third child and eldest son of David Beach 
2nd. and Ruth Hawle.v and was born Nov. 25th, 1753 on his 
father's farm in New Milford, Litchfield Co., Conn, and a sol- 
dier of the Revolution all through the war. July 12, 1775, 
together with his brother John he enlisted in Capt. Bostwick's 
Co. of the 7th. Conn. Regiment of Militia under Col. Charles 
Webb which was recruited in Fairfied, Litchfield County and 
New Haven County, and was stationed in companies along the 
coast of Long Island Sound. Sept. 14th., 1775, upon a requisi- 
tion from Gen'l. Washington, the regiment was ordered to the 
Boston camps, and was there assigned to Genl. Sullivan's Bri- 
gade on Winter Hill in the left wing of our besieging line. 

The regiment there remained until their term of enlist- 
ment expired in December 1775, and David Beach was 
discharged Dec. 2nd., 1775, but the regiment was re-enlisted 
and reorganized as Continental Troops under Col. Webb. 

Jan. 1, 1777 David Beach was appointed sergeant, and 
that year was detailed on recruiting service for the 5th. Regi- 



102 BEACH FAMILY 

ment of the Conn. Line, under Col. Phillip Bradley, for the 
war. The regiment was recruited mainly in Fairfield and 
Litchfield Counties, with men also from all parts of the state. 
They rendevouzed at Danbury, and in the spring- of 1777 
marched to Peekskill on the Hudson. In September of that 
year they were ordered to Pennsylvania with McDougall's Bri- 
gade, and on October 4th., 1777 were engaged, with loss, in the 
battle of German town. They were then assigned to Hunting- 
ton's Brigade and passed the winter of 1777-1778 at Valley 
Forge. 

June 28th. 1778 they fought the battle of Monmouth 
and then marched and joined the main army in camp at White 
Plains and were wintered 1778-79 at Bedding, Conn. 

David Beach was there on Dec. 1778 promoted to be an 
Ensign and it is probable that he was wounded this time and 
visited his home at New Mil ford but twenty miles away. 

In the spring of 1779 the regiment was assigned to Gen. 
Heath's wing of the army on the East bank of the Hudson, 
and there the Light Company of this regiment was detached 
for service under Gen'l. Wayne, and took part in the storming 
of Stony Point, July 15th, 1779. 

After this event the regiment marched to New Jersey 
and the following winter 1779-80 was passed in the huts at 
Morristown.. 

In the campaign of 1780 they were in the operations of 
the main army on both sides of the Hudson and the winter of 
1780-81 was passed at Camp Conn., village opposite West 
Point and was consolidated there for the reformation of the 
line for the compaign of 1781-1783. 

Nov. 13, 1781 David Beach was promoted to be a Lieu- 
tenant and was assinged to Captain Wright's Company of the 
2nd. Regiment of the Conn. Line under Col. Herman Swift of 
Cornwall, Conn., and in December, 1782 the regiment was 
again consolidated for the 3rd. formation from Jan., 1783 to 
June, 1783, the war being then ended and the army disbanded. 



104 BEACH FAMILY 

Lieut. David Beach was made a member of the society 
of the Cincinnatti, and on the rolls of that society his term of 
service is given as from Jan. 4th., 1778 to Jan., 1782. This 
probably covers his term of service in the field with the Conn. 
Line of the Continental Army and probably does not cover his 
service in the State Militia. 

By some authorities it is supposed that his father, David 
Beach of New Milford, was also in the Militia service and that 
terms of service performed by the father have been accredited 
to the son ; and there is good reason to believe David Beach, Sr. 
was in the Militia at the time of Gen. Tryon's invasion and the 
Darbury Alarm, and it is also very certain that the son David 
had seen service before he was appointed a sergeant and de- 
tailed for recruiting service. 

His oldest child was born April 22d., 1781, and he had 
three children in 1788, when with his brothers John and Rob- 
ert he removed to Hinesburg, Vt. and he was residing there 
June 30th., 1818 when he was placed on the pension roll as an 
ensign and received $ 1794.66 back pension and $240.00 a year. 
This however, he afterwards relinquished for the benefit of the 
Act of May 15, 1828. 

His brother John was also a pensioner residing at Hines- 
burg.

US BEACH FAMILY 

[From The Daily Republican, Joliet, 111. Wednesday, 
Dec. 15, 1897.] 

Funeral or the late Mrs. Wm. C. Demmond yester- 
day AFTERNOON. REVERENDS Dr. LEWIS OF THIS CITY AND 

Dr. Dean of Monmouth, conduct the services — Beau- 
tiful Tribute paid to the Christian Womanhood of the 
Deceased — Burial at Oakwood. 



The funeral of the late Mrs. Wm. C. Demmond was held 
yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the home of her daughter, 
Mrs. T. E. Culbertson, 204 Union street. 

The house would not near accommodate the large con- 
course of friends who came to pay their tribute to the beautiful 
Christian life which had left its house of clay to live in the new 
heaven and the new earth. For years Mrs. Demmond stood 
out in this community a staunch exemplification of Puritan 
womanhood. Her friends were legion. Her little acts of 
Christian kindness had been given far and wide and hundreds 
of true and faithful friends gathered around the casket yester- 
day in loving sympathy with the mourners and with anthems 
of praise for the beautiful life that left a heritage richer than 
all else — a noble, blameless record of true and lofty woman- 
hood. 

The casket was fairly buried in a bank of flowers, the 
mute but loving testimonials of undying friendship. Wreaths 
and pillows of sweet amber-tinted roses, interwoven with spot- 
less lilies and ferns rested one against the' other. 

The music was very appropriate and fine. The quartette 
composed of Misses Harbaugh and Davis and Messrs. Talcott 
and Brewster, sang three hymns — "In the Hour of Trial," 
" My Jesus As Thou Wilt," and " Asleep in Jesus." 

The service was conducted by Eeverends James Lewis 
of the Central Presbyterian church, and A. H. Dean of Mon- 
mouth, formerly of Dr. Lewis' church. Their remarks were 



150 BEACH FAMILY 

very comforting to those who mourn and gave some idea of the 
great admiration which was universally showered upon the 
character, which was so true, so symmetrical and so pure. 

Rev. Dr. Lewis spoke of the reasons why they should be 
especially thankful at this time. In the first place, because of 
such a life and its example. Her influence was far reaching 
and her example was a model for many who sought to live lives 
of the truest worth and most thoroughly Christian accomplish- 
ments. 

Another reason for being thankful said Dr. Lewis, was 
because she had lived and died in the Christian faith, and she 
had been a living example of a perfect Christian life. 

" According to the Scriptures " he said, " our afflictions 
work out in us the peaceable fruit of righteousness, and the far 
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory ; while we can look 
not at the things that are seen but the things that are unseen. 
In this case we are privileged to look away from the things 
which are seen — sickness and suffering and pain and death and 
the grave — to unseen things as follows : 

In the first place, we are assured that with her to be ab- 
sent from the body is to be at home with the Lord. That death 
was to depart and be with Jesus, which is far better. Another 
unseen thing is the day of resurrection when the Lord himself 
shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice or the 
archangel and with the trump of God ; and the dead in Christ 
shall arise first, and the living believer shall be changed, and 
we shall be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air, and 
so shall be forever with the Lord. 

'' The final unseen thing is the new heaven and the new 
earth, which shall be the eternal abiding place of the redeemed 
in blessed fellowship with God, and God shall wipe away all 
tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, neither 
sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for 
the former things have passed away. ' ' 

Rev. Dr. Dean delivered the principal sermon , His re- 
marks were more in the nature of a personal estimation of the 



152 BEACH FAMILY 

grand life which he had known for many years. When Dr. 
Dean first came to Joliet years ago, a young minister then, 
Mrs. Demmond came to him with her great help and fought 
the battle of the church by his side. 

Dr. Dean paid a beautiful tribute to her character, show- 
ing what Christ could do for one who believed in him. He also 
remarked the joy there was in having fellowship with Christ 
by fellowship with such followers. He spoke very beautifully 
of the ideal Christian character of Mrs. Demmond which had 
done so much good to the world about her. 

The burial was at Oak wood.

No. 16 was married in 1729 

To Mary Forbush, widow of Isaac Shattuck of Westborough, 

in Worcester County. 
Daughter of Jonathan and Mary (Hollo way) For bash. 

Children : 

19. Phebe, b. Sept. 19, 1730 ; bapt. in Westboro, Nov. 
24, 1734. 

20. Timothy, b. Feb. 6, 1732 or 3.

22. Jonathan, b. July 11, 1737. 

23. Susannah, b. Sept. 9, 1739. 

24. Hannah, b. April 17, 1743. 

Josiah Walker lived with his father and removed with 
him to Hopkinton. It does not appear that either of them 
bought land in that town. 

The records show that he lived on the Shattuck place for 
eleven years ; this is shown in the settlement of the estate. 

The records also show that Josiah Walker of Westbo- 
rough bought of Samuel Watson of Leicester, on May 22, 1739, 
lot No. 30 of " Tonic " No. 4, 40 acres. "Tonic " No. 4 is 
now Becket. In 1746 he sold the same place and in 1750 he 
bought of Jonathan Forbush all the w ' rights " of Forbush in No. 
4. In the last mentioned c\eed he is said to be lfc of Simsbury, 
Conn." 

Here there seems to be a discrepancy between Colonel 
Foster's account and that given by the other descendants of Jo- 
siah Walker. Colonel Foster gives Josiah Walker's birth as 
May 11, 1705. Our date for his birth is May 24, 1706. 

Colonel Foster does not give his marriage to Mary 
Gooding and does not, in the above list, give his son Ebenezer, 
though he afterward mentions him. 



204 WALKER FAMILY 

This leads me to conclude that the following is an ac- 
count of Josiah Walkers second marriage, and the date of Eb- 
enezer s birth strengthens that assumption. 



16. WALKER, JOSIAH. 

Born May 24, 1706, at Becket, Mass. According to Col. E. W. 
Foster, Maltby building, Washington, 1>. C, this Josiah is

Mary Forbursh, widow of Isaac Shattuck, of Westborough.

From "History of Berkshire County, Mass." — Vol. 1, p-597; 
"Jonathan Walker was elected constable at first town meeting 
of Becket, Mass., July 15, 1765." 

Page 599. — "Jonathan Walker and his wife passed their first 
winter here alone near Walker's brook. During the winter 
Mr. Walker cut his foot badly and they needed assistance. 
Their nearest neighbors were in Bland ford, some miles away, 
an unbroken wilderness lying between. Mrs. Walker dared 
not leave her husband while she went for aid, but, taking the 
bloody bandages from her husband's foot she fastened them 
around the horse's neck and started him for Bland ford. 
There, at length, the animal arrived with his blood-written 
measao-e, and the desired assistance came."

THE FAMILY GENEALOGY OF THE 
TILDEN AND HYNSONS. 



TYLDEN OR TILDEN. 

Charles Tylden was the second son of Marmaduke 
Tylden, who was seated at Great Oak Manor, in Kent Co., Md. 
in or about the year 1658. Marmaduke Tylden was first 
cousin to Sir Richard Tylden of Milsted, who died in 1659, and 
a grandson of Sir William Tylden, of Great Tyidens in the 
Parish of Mardon, Kent County, England. 

Sir Burke, in his Landed Gentry, says: 
The Family of the Tildens, one of great antiquity, has 
been seated in Kent, England, for several centuries. Of the 
three distinct branches into which it seperated, the eldest 
branch became possessed of Milstead, in Kent Co., England. 
The second removed to Sussex, England, and a third member 
emigrated to America, and founded the Tildens of this 
Country. The Ancient family possessed land in various par- 
ishes of England, and as far back as the reign of Edward III, 
we find William Tylden paying aid for land in Kent, (England), 
when the Black Prince was knighted. 



280 TILDEX AND HYNSON FAMILY 

Sir William Tylden, of Great Tyldens, the grandfather 
of Marmaduke Tylden, of Great Oak Manor, of Kent Co., Md. 
was descended from Sir Richard Tylden, who was living in the 
reign of Henry II, and afterward fought under Richard Ooeur 
de Lion at the Seige of Acre, against Saladin, the Great Saladin 
being then and there defeated A. D. 1190. 

There then follows in lineage order, Sir Richard Tylden, 
who married Gertrude, of Lord de Frodsham. Sir Henry 
Tylden married to Phillipa of Sir R'h'd Botelor. 

Sir Wm. Tylden, son of Sir Henry, was living at time 
of Edward III, and fought in ye van of ye English army, com- 
manded by ye Lord Audley under ye Black Prince at ye 
battle of Poictiers A. D. 1356. He married Constance, of 
Lord de Mollington, Cheshire. 

Sir William Tylden married daughter of Sir Matthew 
Elis, Chester. 

Sir Thomas Tylden married Alice of Lord Tranmore. 

Sir John Tylden married Isabel, daughter of Sir Roger 
Cotgreave. 

Sir William Tylden, son of above, married Elizabeth, 
daughter of James Yonge, Gentleman, of Tunstal, Kent Co., 
England. He was of Great Tyldens in the Parish of Marden, 
and was ancester to the Tyldens of Great Oak Manor, Kent 
Co., Maryland. 

The above lineage of the Tylden family has been furn- 
ished from authentic papers in the possession of Sir John 
Cotgreave, Knight, and the armorial bearings of the family 
show that they were married, as a family, at the time of Wil- 
liam of Normandy, or the Conquerer, into the family of 
Fitzhugh, the first Norman Earl of Chester. 

Marmaduke Tylden, of Great Oak Manor, Kent Co., 
Maryland, was grandson of the last named Sir William Tylden, 
of Great Tyldens, England, and his wife Elizabeth. They had 
three sons, as follows: Marmaduke, Charles and John Tilden. 

Marmaduke (the son) was a very large land owner in 
Kent Co. , Md. He owned at one time (1709) thirty one thous- 



232 TILDEN AND HYNSON FAMILY 

and acres and over. He married Rebecca Wilmer. Their 
children were respectively named Marmaduke, Jane, Mary, 
Wealthy Ann, Charles and Martha. 

Wealthy Ann Tylden, daughter of Marmaduke and 
Rebecca Wilmer Tilden, married Oct. 19th, 1710 to Thomas 
Hynson, their children being Margaret, Charles, born Jan. 
14th, 1713, Martha Waltman and Mary. 

Charles Hynson, son of Thomas and Wealthy Ann Til- 
den Hynson, married Nov. 30th., 1739 to Phoebe Carvill, and 
died in 1782. The children of Charles and Phoebe Carvill 
Hynson, were born and named as follows: Charles, born Oct. 
9th. 1741, Charles Carvill, born Dec. 11th. 1743, Mary, born 
May 21st., 1746, Richard, born Feb. 3rd., 1749, and John 
Carvill Hynson. 

Charles Hynson, son of Charles and Phoebe Carvill 
Hynson married Sarah Waltham, and had the following child-
